Machine learning is a branch of AI focused on enabling computers and machines to imitate the way that humans learn, to perform tasks autonomously, and to improve their performance and accuracy through experience and exposure to more data.
Deep learning is a subset of machine learning that uses multilayered neural networks, called deep neural networks, to simulate the complex decision-making power of the human brain. Some form of deep learning powers most of the AI applications in our lives today “Nondeep,” traditional machine learning models use simple neural networks with one or two computational layers Deep learning models use three or more layers but typically hundreds or thousands of layers to train the models.

Thisconcernisn’tnew.Whensearchengines likeGooglebecamewidelyavailable,similar debatesaroseabouttheirimpactoncritical thinking.In2011,researchersexaminedhow easilyaccessibleonlineinformation influencedmemoryretention Theyfoundthat individualswhoreliedononlinesearches retainedlessinformationcomparedtothose whosoughtknowledgefromofflinesources Whileperspectivesonthishaveevolved,the underlyingconcernremainsrelevantinthe ageofAI
Dr.MichaelGerlich,HeadoftheCenterfor StrategicCorporateForesightand SustainabilityattheSwissBusinessSchool, hasexploredthisissuefurther.InaUK-based study,hefoundacorrelationbetweenhighAI usageanddiminishedcognitiveskills a findingthat,whilethought-provoking,isn’t universallyacceptedasfact.Public intellectualYuvalNoahHararihaswarned thatgrowingdependenceonAIcouldleadto "programmedthinking"andsocietal stagnation.Yet,Gerlichtakesamore balancedview,emphasizingthatresponsible AIintegrationiskey.
ACCORDINGTODR.GERLICH
“AItoolslikethepopularlarge languagemodelscanbeusedfor criticaldiscussionsandnotonlyas aninstrumentthatreplacesone’s ownworkorthinking Educational systemsshouldemphasizeactive learning,promotingexerciseslike argumentanalysisandproblembasedlearning,”headded “In professionalsettings,creating environmentswhereindependent decision-makingisvaluedcanhelp maintaintheseskills.Engagingin reflectiveactivities,suchas journalingordebating,canalso fosterdeepercognitive engagement.”
Ultimately,thechoicerestswith eachindividual:whethertotakethe convenientrouteofallowingAIto handleourcriticalthinking,orto preservethisessentialcognitive processforourselves”
